Joel and Ethan Coen have been tapped to lead the script polishing for Universal Pictures' "Scarface" reimagining.

The studio announced on Friday that their take on Brian De Palma's blockbuster mobster film will hit theaters on August 10, 2018.

"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" star Diego Luna is set to reprise the role made famous by Al Pacino. The film will be produced by Marc Shmuger, Scott Stuber, and Dylan Clark. Martin Bergman, who produced the 1983 film, will reprise his role of producer.

This isn't the first time that the Coen brothers have tweaked a classic script. The Oscar-award-winning brother duo recently rehashed Angelina Jolie's "Unbroken" as well as Steven Spielberg's "Bridge of Spies."
